Exeter to increase traffic enforcement in Lorane Orchards

EXETER — The township police are partnering with the North Central Highway Safety Network to obtain funding from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation to increase traffic enforcement in the Lorance Orchards development.

Police said they have received numerous complaints from residents of the development about increased traffic and speeding as a result of traffic diversion due to the Route 176/West Shore Bypass project.

“It is believed commuter and truck traffic in and around the development has increased to avoid construction delays,” Exeter police said in a press release.

The department planned to increase enforcement of traffic laws and the speed limit starting today, May 20, to coincide with the “Click It or Ticket” campaign. Officers planned to hold a speed enforcement and seat belt detail on Painted Sky Road Monday.
